Different elements bonded together...

Explanation:

Compounds are molecules with different elements bonded together with each other through chemical bonds. All of our universe is made with compounds. Elemental gases like hydrogen #(H_2)# and oxygen #(O_2)# are not considered to be compounds as they are only made of one element. However, molecules like water #(H_2O)# and sucrose #(C_12H_22O_11)# are compounds because they have two or more different elements combined with each other.
